      Pros

      Smart people, good products, great benefits, good pay if you are among the "in"s

      Cons

      Performance and reward don't seem to always go hand-in-hand. The jokes around the firm were the like of "Speak the truth as long as it's what they want to hear", or "Brown nosing is the favorite sport"...

      Pros

      Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

      Cons

      Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
